What I'm looking for

I’m keen to develop my technical skills and contribute to data management, analysis and reporting within HSBC’s global technology environment.

At Durham University, I researched glacier retreat in the Alps using satellite imagery, spatial datasets and climate information. I processed and analysed geospatial data with ArcGIS Pro and GEEDiT, then presented my methods and findings in a structured dissertation.

For my aircraft engine performance project, I researched how volcanic ash and desert sand affect engines, drawing on technical literature and historical data across a 40-year period. I worked in a team of four to evaluate evidence and present recommendations in a report and PowerPoint presentation.

My Earth Sciences studies and research projects developed my experience in data analysis, GIS and technical reporting. I’m curious about how technology and data can improve business decisions, and I’m keen to develop my technical skills in data management, analysis and reporting within HSBC’s global technology environment.
